What remained unclear was what they had actually been doing down here.
The DASF squad pushed farther into the underground level, and the rooms ahead finally started answering that question.
The corridor opened into another large section where the rooms were noticeably different from the maintenance spaces behind them. Several reinforced doors stood open along one side, while the opposite wall contained wide observation windows looking into separate chambers.
The DASF operators cleared the nearest one before moving on.
Engineer Three entered after them and stopped at the door.

Large metal frames occupied most of the chamber.
Some stood empty, but others still held thick slabs of material between heavy clamps. One plate was nearly as tall as a person and thick enough that Engineer Three stopped trying to compare it to anything from an ordinary laboratory.
